Find the right BrewChill Pro glycol chiller for your fermentation, cold crash or tank holding needs.

1 Units
2 Tanks Cooling Simultaneously
Only include tanks that need cooling at the same time - not your total tank count. If you own 12 tanks but only 3 are active right now, enter those 3. Fermentation Hold: ongoing cooling to hold an actively fermenting tank at temperature - sugar content (°Brix) and attenuation drive the load. Cold Crash: pulling a tank down to a lower temperature over a set time - calculates liquid sensible-heat pull-down, with tank/piping/room heat gain covered by the ambient and system allowances below, not calculated directly. This is the total heat that must be removed, not a guarantee of pull-down speed - whether you actually hit your target time also depends on jacket surface area, glycol supply temperature, and flow rate, none of which this calculator has visibility into. Tank / Brite Holding: maintaining a non-fermenting tank at a steady cold temperature against room heat gain - an estimated load from a simplified vessel-maintenance method, not a full surface-area/insulation heat-transfer calculation.

4 Environment & System
Enter the total supply-and-return glycol run (not just the one-way distance from chiller to tank), or follow your manufacturer's rated loop-length definition if it differs - our model loop limits below are based on total run. This checks basic zone/loop/voltage compatibility against our standard lineup - it's a preliminary configuration filter, not a complete control-system design (valves, dedicated pumps, flow balancing, etc. may still need engineering review for complex setups). |
